Wear the trend: Plaid

A little confused about how to carry off the trademark Scottish look that’s been invading the stores, designer and high street? Follow our lead to figure out how to wear plaids to work and otherwise. This little more country and lot less rock and roll trend has taken women’s runway by a storm, Anna Sui went for dark gothic checks whereas Missoni opted for demure pastels.

Casual: Possibly the easiest way to wear this trend is to throw on a plaid shirt over a pair of jeans. However, tread carefully. Too casual and you might be mistaken for an extra in a Western film. Vogue.in recommends wearing an extra-large plaid shirt as a dress with a brown belt and ballerina flats. We love the cotton shirt from Levi&rsquo;s Made and Crafted.
Work: Even if you spend more time stuck in meetings and office cabins than out of them there&rsquo;s no reason why you can&rsquo;t make tartan work for you. Vogue.in recommends bay plaid print silk top by Altuzarra with a pencil skirt and nude heels. Alternatively, try a plaid blazer such as this green one from J Crew and if you really want to channel your man&rsquo;s style may we suggest one with elbow patches. Just keep the rest of your look clean, and add a feminine accessory to round it off.
